Southeastern Theatre Conference

Work continues apace on Taming of the Shrew! The huge set for the play progresses daily, costumes are selected and altered, we add new layers within individual scenes, props are designed or purchased. In the midst of our brew of activity, a number of students are also preparing to participate in the State Screening Auditions for the Southeastern Theatre Conference (SETC).

SETC is an amazing organization, supported by a 4,000 plus membership, numerous volunteers, and an incredible staff at its Central Office. For many students, SETC is a significant path for finding professional opportunities to work in the theatre. The largest organization of its kind, SETC also offers a Job Contact Service for students and professionals, Graduate School Auditions, and much more.

This March, members of the Miss Julie Company will conduct a presentation on our recent Edinburgh Fringe Project at the Chattanooga Convention. This annual March event is an exciting salad of distinguished theatre luminaries, workshops, staged readings of new works, Play Festivals, and more. It is a luminous celebration of our art form--and a real connection forstudents who are ready to make the leap to summer opportunties, and further study.
